Ready to go!

We are getting excited to leave on our West Coast Trip with Kyle and Kristen Mast in just a few days. Kyle and Kristen arrive in SLC from Florida tomorrow and we'll have a few days to show them around SLC before leaving. 

In other news, Todd is wrapping up his third school year as a teacher. This week is pretty low key, so he hasn't had to much to prepare for. The high school state meet was a few weekends ago. Three Olympus High School athletes finished in the top 8, and one girl broke the 400m school record! He created a cross country summer training plan and posted it to the cross country website he made and quite a few athletes have already begun training! 

I had the opportunity to attend the CPSDA Conference (Collegiate and Professional Sports Dietetics) in St. Louis a couple weeks ago. I was able to meet many sports dietitians from universities around the country. I learned a lot and made many valuable connections. I have been studying to take the RD exam, but the paperwork did not come through on time to take the test before leaving on our trip. I plan to take the exam shortly after returning to Utah. For now, I am going to be working ~10 hours a week for University of Utah Sports Nutrition. It will be the same type of work I did during my internship--only now I will be getting paid :). I can do the work while traveling, so it works out really well! 

I will try to post updates (or at least pictures to Facebook) during our trip to keep ya'll updated on where we are/have been.
